Installing a SIM card

ioPAC 5542-HSPA controller supports cellular network function. user can unscrew and remove the SIM card

cover to insert the SIM card.

Follow these steps to remove or install a SIM card:

1. Remove the screw holding the card cover in place.

2. (a) Insert the SIM card into the slot, or

(b) Remove the SIM card from the slot.

Connecting to the Network

Ethernet Communication

Connections to the LAN port are made through an RJ45 connector on the module. The wiring and pin

connections for these connectors are described in separate sections below.

• TCP/IP Settings: Dual Speed Functionality: The ioPAC 5500’s Ethernet ports auto negotiate with the

connected devices and then use the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. The following

table shows the TCP/IP parameters supported by the LAN port. Default values are set when a Factory Reset

is performed on the controller.

Lan Port 1 Lan Port 2

Parameter Supported Values Parameter Supported Values

IP Address Default: 192.168.127.254 IP Address Default: 192.168.126.254

Subnet Mask Default: 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask Default: 255.255.255.0

Gateway Default: 0.0.0.0 Gateway Default: 0.0.0.0

IP Address is the IP address of the controller.

Subnet Mask determines the subnet on which the controller is located.

Gateway determines how your controller communicates with devices outside its subnet. Enter the IP

address of the gateway.

The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are static; contact your network administrator to obtain these

addresses for the controller.

RJ45 Ethernet Connector

The ideal maximum cable length of a 10/100BaseT connection is 100 m (350 feet), but the actual limit could be

longer or shorter depending on the amount of electrical noise in the environment. To minimize the amount of

noise, Ethernet cables should not run parallel to power cables or other types of cables that generate electrical

noise.

The following diagram and table shows the pin connections for the RJ45 Ethernet connector.
